INTRODUCTION

Analysis of the 1988 and 1991 New South Wales elections has to date been hindered by alack of detailed statistical analysis of the results. This is unfortunate, as both electionsproduced historically significant outcomes.

Given that New South Wales has often been called a ‘natural’ Labor state, the 1988 resultwas startling, the worst Labor performance, and best Coalition result, since the Lang era ofthe 1930s. The Labor Party suffered massive swings in its working class heartland, losingseats like Balmain, Newcastle and Swansea for the first time this century. There was amassive rejection of Labor in rural seats, mainly due to gun law and forest protection issues,and seven non-aligned Independents were elected to the Legislative Assembly.

The 1991 election saw the re-election of the Greiner Coalition, but in the unexpected positionof a lacking a clear parliamentary majority. Together with the government’s loss of TheEntrance by-election following a Court of Disputed Returns decision, the finely balancedParliament became critical to the course of the government. Politically, it lead to the so-called‘Metherell affair’ which eventually forced the resignation of Premier Nick Greiner.Constitutionally, it also lead to the introduction of fixed four year term Parliaments, part ofthe agreement between the Coalition and non-aligned Independents.

The lack of statistical analysis of the results has been because of the massive electoralredistributions that took place before both elections. Prior to the 1988 election, the size ofthe Legislative Assembly was increased from 99 to 109 electorates, reverting back to 99electorates for the 1991 election. This publication provides, for the first time, full details ofboth elections, with all swings calculated compared to the previous election after taking intoaccount the redistributions . Summary details of the 1986/87 and 1990/91 redistributions arealso provided, calculated by re-assigning booth results from the previous election to the newboundaries.

Further information on the political impact of the redistributions can be found in the NSWParliamentary Library Current Issues Background Paper “NSW Elections 1984 to 1991: AComparative Analysis” (No. 1994/2). More detail on the 1988 and 1991 Legislative Councilelections can be found in “Electing the New South Wales Legislative Council 1978 to 1995:Past Results and Future Prospects” (No. 1995/2). A third publication, “NSW Elections 1995”(Background Paper 1995/4), sets out the results of the 1995 election in the same format asthis publication.

Explaining the tables

For each Legislative Assembly electorate, full detail of primary and two-party preferred votesare provided. The format for the results are summarized below.

First Count: The votes shown for each candidate are the total primary votes received.Percentage votes are calculated as a percentage of the formal vote for each electorate. Swingis calculated by subtracting the percentage vote received by a party at the previous election(adjusted for the new boundaries) from the percentage received at the current election.Where the parties contesting the district differ from the previous election, ‘ghost’ candidates(indicated by "....") have been included representing candidates not contesting the currentelection. As a result, all primary swings add to zero, subject to rounding errors.

Final Count: Represents the two-candidate preferred count after the final distribution ofpreferences in an electorate. All votes which did not indicate a preference to the tworemaining candidates are included in the total listed as Exhausted. Two-candidate preferredpercentages are calculated by dividing the two-candidate preferred vote by the votes

remaining in the count, that is the formal votes minus the total exhausted votes. Two-candidate preferred swings are shown compared to the adjusted previous election results.Where the party composition of the final two candidates differ (eg Balmain in 1988), a ghostcandidate appears, and three swing figures are shown.

Two-Candidate versus Two-Party Preferred results

The 1988 election was the first where a full distribution of preferences was carried out ineach electorate, producing a final two-candidate preferred vote. However, in 11 electorates in1988, and 13 in 1991, the final count included an independent or minor party candidate. Forthese seats, two-party preferred estimates between Labor and the Coalition have beenprovided in the tables summarising the two-party preferred results.

A full two-party count was not provided in 1984, so all re-calculations based on the 1986/87redistribution use estimated two-party preferred results from 1984.

By-Elections

In re-calculating redistributions, all estimates are based upon results of the previous election.By-elections have been ignored, though a note has been made where the result of a by-election may have affected redistribution calculations.

Details of all by-elections held between 1984 and 1988 are provided on pages 42-44, andby-elections between 1991 and 1995 on pages 85-87.

Changes to Electoral Laws

Before the 1991 election, there were two significant changes to electoral laws. The first wasto allow party names to appear on the ballot paper. The second was to declare informal allvotes cast using only a tick or a cross. This second measure, and confusion with instructionsfor marking the referendum ballot paper, was responsible for the enormous rise in informalvoting at the 1991 election.

Notes on Seats Changing Hands

Bass Hill Classed as Labor retain. Seat was gained by Liberal Party on old boundariesat a 1987 by-election (p43), but based on 1984 result, seat was Labor held.

Camden Notional Labor retain. Won by Liberal Party at 1984 election, but on newboundaries, seat became notional Labor.

Nthn Tablelands Classed as National retain. Seat was gained by National Party on oldboundaries at a 1987 by-election (p44). New boundaries also made seat aNational Party seat based on 1984 results.

Wollongong As the new areas added to the seat were not contested by the sittingIndependent MP in 1984, seat became notional Labor followingredistribution. Re-election of Independent therefore seen as a gain fromLabor.
